NOTE:
. Since each tire/wheel assembly weighs approximately 30 lbs (14 kg)' placing the front wheels in the luggage area can
assist with the weight distribution
. Use the same support points to suppon the vehicle on safety stands'
Place the lift blocks as shown.
Raise the hoist a lew inches (centrmeters) and rock the vehicle to be sure it is firmly supported'
Raise the hoist to full height, and inspect lift points for solid support

NOTE: lf the camshaft-to-holder oil clearances (see
page 6-36) are not within specification, the cylinder head
cannot be resurfaced.
lf the camshaft-to-holder oil clearances are within sDeci,
fications, check the cylinder head lor warpage.
lf warpage is less than 0.05 mm (0.002 in), cylin-
der head resurfacing is not required.
lf warpage is between 0.05 mm (0.002 in) and
0.2 mm {0.008 in), resurface the cylinder head.
Maximum resurface limit is 0,2 mm (0.008 in)
based on a height of 93 mm (3.66 in).
Measure along edges, and three ways across center.

Reconditioning
'1. Renew the valve seats in the cylinder head using a
valve seat cutter.
NOTE: lf the guides are worn (see page 6-39).
replace them (see page 6-41) belore cutting the
valve seats.
VALVE SEATCUTTER(Commercially available)

Carefully cut a 45'seat, removing only enough
material to ensure a smooth and concentric seat.
Bevel the upper edge of the seat with the 30. cutter
and the lower edge of the seat with the 60' cutter.
Check the width of the seat and adjust accordingly.
Make one more very light pass with the 45" cutter to
remove any possible burrs caused by the other cut-
Iers.
Valve Seat Width:
Standard (N€w):

5. After resurfacing the seat, inspect for even valve
seatingr Apply Prussian Blue compound to the
valve face, and insert the valve in its original loca-
tion in the head, then liit and snap it closed against
the seat several times.

VALVESEAT
PFUSSIAN BTUE COMPOUNO
The actual valve seating surface. as shown by the
blue comDound, should be centered on the seat.
. lf it is too high (closer to the valve stem), you
must make a second cut with the 60'cutter to
move it down, then one more cut with the 45'
cutter to restore seat width,
. lf it is too low (closer to the vslve edge), you
must make a second cut with the 30" cutter to
move it uD, then one more cut with the 45'cutter
to restore seat width.
NOTE: The final cut should always be made with
the 45" cutter.
lnsert the intake and exhaust valves in the head and
measure the valve stem installed height.

Select the proper replacement guides. and chill them
in the freezer section of a refrigerator for about an
nour.
Use a hot plate or oven to evenly heat the cylinder
head to 300"F (150'C). Monitor the temperature with
a cooking thermometer.
CAUTION:
. Do not use a torch; it may warp the head.
Do not got the head hottel than 300"F (150"C1;
excessive heat may loosen thg valve seats.
To avoid burns. use heayy gloves whon handling
the heated cylinder h€ad.
